Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.

Dinner is done and...

... believe it or not I'm not missing those potatoes/rice/bread...much!
Veggies galore, and no not a Bond Girl, ha, but the variety is plentiful!
I suppose that's what anyone of the actors who played Bond, James Bond would have liked or thought, in character of course.

Any-who, allowed was homemade meatloaf without panko or other bread type fillers.
Hubby made it the quickie way with simple additions such as dried onion flakes and garlic, and an egg was okay, and Hunts ketchup on top that has none of that bad fructose in it, also instead of tomato sauce, no salt or pepper needed. Along with sides of Brussels sprouts, zucchini, and even homemade Cole slaw with flat club soda for my beverage.
Hubby's sides were mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables with coffee for his beverage.
Eating at home is more often these days.
The best thing is we will be saving money.
After all we just had the BIG additional expense of the new air/heat conditioning system.
But my diet for the next several months will not be conducive to eating out anyway.
Post surgery I will be on pureed everything, and baby food, not even toddler food, not allowed chunks, even at home all blended food will have to go through a strainer too, for quite some time or who knows when, whichever comes first, ha!

Moving on...

I heard from the hematologist/oncologist's office today.
And they set me up with an appointment a week before my scheduled surgery next month.
Apparently, the doctor I am scheduled to see will be on vacation at the end of this month and won't be back until then.
Still worried, but I am sure if it was real serious I would be fitted in?

Moving on again...

The inspection for our brand new heat/air conditioner system was today, but it failed!
Apparently, the inspector could not find the UV cover on the wire outside or some such thing, Hubby's job to go outside with these people, I stay out of things I don't know enough about.
It was NOT a DIY it was a reputable installer with a national company, and when Hubby notified them they are sending someone over here to take care of it today, between 4-8 P.M.!
Whew!
Good reliable people.
Number one recommended here, Best Home Services.

On that note of things sure are happening...allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with
you know whom and we will too!

“An endorphin is a natural pain reliever produced by the body in response to a number of factors. It binds to the parts of the nervous system that bind to morphine, relieving pain and frequently producing a natural high. In contrast to the effects of narcotics, endorphin activity is not addictive. A runner’s high is one response that is thought to be due to the effects of endorphins.
There are a number of endorphins produced by humans. They are neurotransmitters, meaning they transmit signals throughout the nervous system and are found in the brain — specifically in the pituitary gland. A receptor is a molecule that transmits signals, and an endorphin binds to a receptor that morphine and other opiates gravitate to. It is known as an opiate receptor.”
“Adrenaline is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland in the body of many animals. When it is produced in the body it stimulates the heart-rate, dilates blood vessels and air passages, and has a number of more minor effects. Adrenaline …

First one was my fairly new neuro, Dr. Lilliana Montoya, her nurse who called me back almost as soon as I left the message with me asking a few questions.
Like the fact that I had lowered my dosage on two medications for my spasms over weeks/months really, Baclofen down to 40 mg. a day unless I need more, which I have and I can take the additional amounts safely, and Gabapentin that I also lowered all the way down to 200 mg. a day. And now with this warmer weather and us going out more often it appears that I am being affected with it, since it has been causing more spasms. I have not been wearing my cooling vest either, since it is so bulky and this one has so many ice packs, too many in my opinion!
I do believe that is probably why, but not absolutly sure.
And apparently they have not received any of my blood work from the GP as of yet.
Angie, her nurse also thought I might want to move up my office visit to this month from my six month one in June, and she said she would ask the d…
